Quantization of Gravitational Waves and the Squeezing
نویسنده
چکیده
The question whether gravitational waves are quantised or not can in principle be answered by the help of correlation measurements. If the gravitational waves are quantised and they are generated by the change of the background metrics then they can be in squeezed state. In a sqeezed state there is a correlation between the phase of the wave and the quantum fluctuations. It is recommended to analyse the data to be obtained by the gravitational detectors from the point of view of such correlations. An explicit formula is derived for the squeezing parameter of the quantised gravitational waves. The head on collision of two identical black holes is analysed as a possible source of squeezed gravitational waves. PACS: 04.30.-W

Gravitational waves are considered in thermal vacuum state. The amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves are found enhanced in thermal vacuum state compared to its zero temperature counterpart. Therefore, the allowed amount of enhancement depends on the upper bound of WMAP-5 and WMAP-7 for the amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves. The enhancement of ...
متن کاملA Decision between Bayesian and Frequentist Upper Limit in Analyzing Continuous Gravitational Waves
Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Neutron Stars: A Review
Neutron stars are excellent emitters of gravitational waves. Squeezing matter beyond nuclear densities invites exotic physical processes, many of which violently transfer large amounts of mass at relativistic velocities, disrupting spacetime and generating copious quantities of gravitational radiation. I review mechanisms for generating gravitational waves with neutron stars. This includes grav...
متن کاملCanonical Quantization of Cylindrical Gravitational Waves with Two Polarizations
The canonical quantization of the essentially nonlinear midisuperspace model describing cylindrically symmetric gravitational waves with two polarizations is presented. A Fock space type representation is constructed. It is based on a complete set of quantum observables. Physical expectation values may be calculated in arbitrary excitations of the vacuum. Our approach provides a non-linear gene...
متن کاملRealistic filter cavities for advanced gravitational wave detectors
The ongoing global effort to detect gravitational waves continues to push the limits of precision measurement while aiming to provide a new tool for understanding both astrophysics and fundamental physics. Squeezed states of light offer a proven means of increasing the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors, potentially increasing the rate at which astrophysical sources are detected by mor...
